$600 Million in deals signed at 2025 Shenyang Robotics Conference
The 2025 Shenyang Robotics Conference launched on October 17 under the theme "New Quality Leads Development, Intelligent Manufacturing Connects the Future." The event saw 59 new project agreements signed, totaling more than $600 million across industries such as intelligent robotics, advanced equipment, and industrial automation.This year's conference followed a "2 + 5 + N" structure, combining keynote forums, product launches, tech matchmaking sessions, innovation exhibitions, and more. Over 400 experts, entrepreneurs, and researchers from across the robotics sector gathered to share insights, showcase new technologies, and explore future collaboration.
Industry leaders noted China's rapid growth in robotics, with domestic robot production expanding significantly over the last decade. Annual unit sales surged from around 22,000 in 2015 to 177,000 in 2024, underscoring the sector's momentum and increasing industrial adoption.
The exhibition featured four main areas: humanoid and bionic robots, collaborative and healthcare robotics, AI-integrated consumer and educational robots, and robot components and special-purpose machinery. A total of 51 advanced robotics systems were on display, including quadruped robots, dual-arm collaborative bots, autonomous drones, and high-performance actuators.
Launched in 2015, the Shenyang Robotics Conference has become a major platform for innovation and investment in China's manufacturing heartland. Shenyang continues to develop a complete robotics ecosystem - from R&D to production - with a growing number of homegrown tech companies driving breakthroughs in smart manufacturing.
